B. Amusing and Confusing Verses
In this section, I will give you a couple of examples of some funny, confusing, absurd
little poems, where everything is put upside down. Try to change their sentences in such
a way, so that the commonsense and proper meaning will be restored. As a result of
your exercises, rhymes and rhythms will most definitely be lost, but your effort will help

you in understanding the meaning of these Russian sentences and even in correcting
their blunders.
